Creating advanced and high-performance materials for Additive Manufacturing to support industry 4.0 expansion and decrease its carbon footprint, Luxembourg based AM 4 AM have patented a cold plasma process using AcXys Technologies TKS equipment, that provides extra properties to conventional materials thereby extending the range of AM (Additive Manufacturing) materials used mainly in the 3D printing sector.

Based in Norway, Nanize, who are among the leaders in the drive to replace PFAS’s, research and develop innovative, additives, high-performance formulations, nano-particles, surface pre-parations and functionalised coatings. With a vision to revolutionize the coating industry, Nanize have recently purchase a LabScan unit supplied by AcXys. This user-friendly, “plug and play”, table-top equipment combining state-of-the-art ULS atmospheric plasma technology and all-inclusive 3 axis robot allows the precise control of activation critical parameters.

AcXys Technologies and the Irish company PlasmaBound have jointly developed an innovative surface preparation process for use before the industrial bonding of any composite parts. Performed by a plasma process, dry ablation of thermoplastic resin is ideal for a variety of applications, from surface preparation before gluing, printing, varnishing, priming, painting etc, to treatments beforethe application of finishes including many kinds of thin layer depositions.

K 2022 sarà l’occasione per presentare le nostre più recenti innovazioni in materia di trattamento superficiale al plasma atmosferico e come questa tecnologia possa fare la differenza nella vostra linea di produzione, sia che stiate cercando l’attivazione della superficie, la bagnabilità, un migliore incollaggio, la stampa, ….
